Yes, about 320 feet. Do you not remember how large of an area just one of those small tactical nukes obliterated? It was a hell of a lot more than a 320 foot area.
Go look at the thread start, I believe it's field weapons they showed in the films.
they dont have a 100 meter kill radius.
Custom grenades could have a blast up to 100 meters.
stormtroopers use standard weaponry given to them by the empire. thus, no customzed thermal detonators will be present here i can assure you. whats the standard range for thermal detonators? look to the right of that page.
Range: 5 meter
so. thats the range of a modern day frag grenade. interesting.
dont see how thats going to help against SST grenades which are nuclear and have a range of 120 feet.
Lets see:
You got your run of the mill Stormtrooper, and

Stormtrooper Armor:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stormtrooper#Armor
The armor also protected the troopers from very harsh environments as well as projectiles and impact weapons. The armor might be penetrated by a direct blaster bolt, but would significantly reduce damage from the absorbed bolt. Blast energy sinks were distributed around the armor to absorb energy from a blaster bolt. The insulated body glove allowed for comfortable operations in an very wide range of climates, including—for a very short time—even total vacuum conditions, or immense extremes of cold and heat.

The result was an expanding particle field that could atomize any material that did not conduct heat or thermal energy within the fixed blast radius; typically five meters, though some had an even greater radius. Custom grenades could have a blast up to 100 meters.[1]
It says "typically", not all. Naturally some if not all are going to have an adjustable blast radius. "Fixed blast radius" implies that it it adjustable according to the wielders needs.

why should i care about their armor? their armor was pierced by arrows and we even saw a trooper fall to the ground dead with an arrow sticking out of his back. their armor sucks.
SST wins.

try again RJ. i can see the desperation in your posts.
I aint buying the fact that SST are better marksmen. All they did was point and spray. Hell, I can do that. Plus they are shooting at huge ass bugs, how can they miss?
They are gonna have Stormtroopers swarming them, Snowtroopers firing their huge ass cannons at them, and speeder bikes buzzing them all over the place.
Also, SST rifles only carry X amount of rounds, remember when Diz ran out? No way they will be able to carry enough on them to win this battle.

Anyone is a better marksmen.
See "Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy", "Stormtrooper Effect" and "Cannon Fodder". Being the SW Fan you are, I'm very surprised you aren't aware of the ST's reputation as gooses. That or you're just trolling.

Of course they were "spraying" the bugs. One shot clearly isn't enough. And also, when the bugs storm in masses, spraying is probably the best policy.
Whatever accuracy they displayed is better than the ridiculous misses (at close range) of the Stormtroopers we've seen.
Trying to discredit the SST doesn't really make the ST any less pathetic.
the fact that they managed to even hit STATIONARY targets is a testament to their abilities, as the stormtroopers couldn't even do that.
furthermore, in the second battle and all the ones that follow in the movie, we see the troopers killing the bugs in one shot, even though in the first battle we saw that the bugs were getting shot tons of times without dropping. the movie itself explains this. the bugs have only one weak point, their nerve stem, which is located under the mouth. its only a few inches in size. the troopers as of the second battle were able to hit that with one shot, WHILE moving backwards or forwards, WHILE the bugs were moving backwards of forwards, and at a good distance away. that trumps any accuracy the stormtroopers have ever shown.
